Stochastic Dynamics of Heavy Quarks in Strongly Coupled Plasma / Rajagopal, Krishna (MIT) ; Scheihing-Hitschfeld, Bruno (UC, Santa Barbara (main)) ; Wiedemann, Urs Achim (CERN)
We study the stochastic dynamics of heavy quarks propagating through the strongly coupled plasma of $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills (SYM) theory at nonzero temperature in terms of the corresponding Kolmogorov equation, which correctly describes their kinetic equilibration and the non-Gaussian fluctuations in their momenta without having to restrict their velocity to the non-relativistic regime.

Yoctosecond imaging of the ground state of $^{129}$Xe at the Large Hadron Collider / Giacalone, Giuliano (CERN) ; Nijs, Govert (CERN) ; van der Schee, Wilke (CERN ; Utrecht U. ; NIKHEF, Amsterdam)
Imaging a quantum many-body system requires probes that resolve the coordinates of its constituents in sufficiently large event samples, allowing measurements of correlation functions [1-4]. [...]

The decay rate of metastable cosmic strings beyond the thin-string approximation / Domcke, Valerie (CERN) ; Hamada, Yu (Osaka U.)
In the context of grand unified theories, any cosmic strings present in the post-inflationary universe are likely to be metastable, with a decay rate set by the spontaneous creation of monopole pairs on the string. [...]

The STAR experiment has recently reported data on the $\sqrt{\langleΔp_{T,i}Δp_{T,j}\rangle}/\langle\langle p_T\rangle\rangle$ charged hadron correlation in Au+Au reactions from $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=3-200$ GeV. [...]
